Inglorious Basterds is a good movie.

But it could be better. Tarantino does a great job of setting up the notion Nazis are evil as shite and Christopher Waltz steals the show. He's a top 10 bad guy no doubt.

But, Tarantino's style turns it into some kind of dark ironic comedy. Pitt's cartoonish accent, Waltz's character after he catches the plot just goes to Hell. Tarantino's signature editing is subdued, but still unwanted.

I also think it is a great movie.

It is a fantasy movie dealing with defeating the Nazis so it gave Tarantino the opportunity to be creative in developing the personalities of the characters and situations.

The scene where you hear the bat banging inside of the cave and it seems to take forever for him to come out of the cave built the suspense and made me feel what the Nazi who was going to get his head bashed in must have been feeling.

The bar scene where he is discovered as a spy because of the way he used his fingers to gesture the number three was a stroke of genius.

The shootout was one of the most intense scenes I've ever experienced.
